Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 2 years old, this week, the child said her ears hurt. Also, there's a lot of yellow earwax, and her appetite is not good either. Her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children to alleviate inflammation symptoms. They can also complement some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is advised to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media has a tendency to recur, and if there is a condition of eardrum perforation, it needs to be treated promptly. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child is well-kept warm to prevent further worsening of the symptoms due to catching a cold.
